EVAN BLUETECH - Founder

Brooding. Ambient. Mystery. Filter-sweep trickery. Experimentation. Improvisation. Filled with emotion. These are some of the words that describe the sound of Bluetech. A classically trained pianist and master of the art of software production. Bluetech's love of the melodic and exquisite sense of sound design makes him one of the most ingenius producers today.

Bluetech's sound emerges from his custom-built Reaktor instruments and software based synthesisers as a primordial electro-dub alchemy. While encompassing musical touches from different parts of the globe, he presents a total blend, crossing genres and borders.
